Sold pending funds.
$50 shipped USPS Priority to CONUS.
A vintage Majestic pen. It is a lever filler. I found it completely trashed. The body and cap were all scratched up. The J bar was rusted beyond reuse. The sac was ossified. The nib was cheap, steel, and completely too corroded and thin to save. I buffed the body by hand with micromesh, I replaced the J bar, the sac, and the nib with a FPR flex nib. I tuned the nib to write on the wet side as a Medium. I also tuned it to write Extra Fine upside down. It is semi-flexible. You can get a small amount of flex from these nibs but don't try pushing them hard or you're not gonna have a good time the way I have this tuned. LOL :P
The clip has some pitting and plating loss. I tried to capture that in the photos. The body has micro scratches that do not turn up good in the photos. It started WAY worse than where it is now though. I spent quite a bit of time buffing this out.
I wrote two pages with the pen and it appears to function fine.
It has an awesome ink window.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
